Re: 1/21 - 1/27 Games Discussion Thread

I rarely even comment on officiating when it comes to Spurs games, but I will say when it comes to the Thunder....it always seems to be a discussion...

As far as officiating benefiting them or going against them?

I'll take it you mean the former then.

I guess that's what happens when you become an elite NBA team. Oh well, we'll have two more teams to add to that group once the playoffs starts.

Kawhi Leonard suffered a non-displaced fracture of his right fourth metacarpal in Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Leonard will be out indefinitely as a timetable is determined.

Leonard is averaging 11.8 points and 6.2 rebounds this season.

It's mind blowing that he didn't go into the paint for the dunk. Perkins... Really I have no idea how he's still a NBA player. Have said it yesterday already but it makes almost no sense now that most of the league plays small ball.

Haha I talked about refs having horrible bias for the Thunder like two years ago and I was laughed at and told to stop being so whiny and that the Thunder get more calls because they attack and blah, blah, blah. Good to see everyone has seen through the bull****. Durant just has to act like he got hit on a shot and they'll call a foul. Ibaka gets away with what seems like two goaltendings a game, Perkins is allowed to mug people and when Westbrook is there he can basically just throw himself anywhere near the basket and he'll draw a "foul".

The Thunder are a great team, but the fact that the refs have some kind of love affair with half the team helps them, especially in late game situations.

I've been saying the same **** since that series with Dallas. People complain about LeBron but then act like Durant is a god when he puts up 40. The dude is averaging 10 FTs a game..with his playstyle there's no way he should shoot that many.

And people have been complaining about Durant too.

FWIW, I know Durant and to a greater extent, the team, gets calls. Not naive to that since what happens when you're an elite NBA team. You tend to get more calls than a team floating around the bottom of the standings.

Melo pissed at the wrong person I see...

In the final minutes of another disastrous Knicks loss, a boisterous fan shouted at Carmelo Anthony “Nice defense, Melo.” According to an eyewitness, Anthony shot back “Go f— yourself,” drawing a reaction from other fans in the area.
After the game, a fan on Twitter wrote “Carmelo told me to F off. Huge Philly fan and I got in his head.”

Re: 1/21 - 1/27 Games Discussion Thread

People honestly didn't believe the thunder get calls? durant averages like 15fts a game, if thats not bs, then i dunno what is. Even though i have to say that rip through move is he uses is sneaky genius cuz refs act like they don't know what to call it, so they just call foul. I saw george hill use that same move last night and he got a call too lol. Its like dudes are catching on to that move so there using it left and right now lol. Imagine if it was in 2k, people would spam that isht like crazy lol.

Who first started doing that move though? Wasn't it duncan? i feel like there was somebody who was known for doing that, but I can't place my finger on it.

Re: 1/21 - 1/27 Games Discussion Thread

Lopez was doing that mess heavily also and drawing the foul as well.

Not that many people would've noticed anyway.
